Just put everyone into a usergroup that has no posting access. Tell them to PM you once they put their name there; you check to make sure it is a real name. If it is, move them into a usergroup with posting rights like a normal registered user... best way I can think of.

or, more sensibly, modify the code so that if someone logs in they are taken to their profile page and not permitted access to the rest of the forums (or limited to guest access) until they enter the fields and click save. Not sure what phpBB3 actually does, will check some other time.

Putting them into a group and changing them back by hand would be hell on a large forum.

will there be a way to restrict forum access to a value set in a custom field? for instance, can the "donuts only!" be restricted to only the users that have "i like donuts" custom field boolean selected?
